Childhood memories
Lyrics
Momma I'll Never Be Like Him
2006 Jody Dickey/Ben Burton/Ric Ledford
Momma...it's been awhile, since we talked things through
But some memories still haunt me; I had to be near you
I was thinking of the bad times, when I used to pray
That daddy would stop hurting you, how I wished he'd go away
(c)
Momma I'll never be like him, that's a promise I will keep
I thank you for who I am; that your warm heart is in me
In my loving tender arms, my family will always be
I will never hurt them, 'cause Momma...I'll never be like him
(V)
The sad day came when I was ten, I found you lying on the floor
You told me not to worry; soon you'd be at Heaven's door
He could never hurt you up there and one day soon I'd understand
"You'll have a family of your own, be a gentle loving man"
(Chorus)
(v)
I've brought you some dandelions and forget-me-nots today
I know how much you love them; I remember how you used to say
You'd grow them up in Heaven and be near them all of the time
I guess you knew what he would do, and someday he'd cross that line
(Chorus)
Bridge
I put the flowers on your headstone, I feel your smile warm as the sun
You know my home is filled with love, I pray there are flowers up above
Repeat chorus
